Once a Coworker Told Me


That I would prefer the edges to the middle of the brownie pan when I got older. That has officially happened.

Note to Self:

Never, ever, ever do anything different to your face on the day you're going to take portraits. The risk is just too high. Stupid, stupid!

So that water thing

Is not clearing up my skin. Boo. That or all the chocolate I'm eating is competing with the clarifying effect. Nah, couldn't be.

Two Babies in One House

Makes this mommy really confused. I never know which sounds are coming from mine.

Sorry About Picture Hiccoughs


Lame, I know. But I'm trying to fix them all. And remember how I decided to hate Google Images? Well, apparently they decided to hate me too. But these Microsoft clip art images are better anyway, so there.

I Eat Chocolate Chips


Plain. By the handful. And, FYI, ten pounds can disappear really fast that way!

P.S. Isn't this picture AMAZING? I think I'm going to make it my desktop background.

P.P.S. In labeling this post, I started typing "health," just to be funny, and decided to switch to "happiness," which was more accurate.

Even More On Water


So I thought I would have to use the bathroom a ton when I started this, but for the first week it wasn't that bad, which only proved to me that I really needed it! Now I've got a lot of fluid working through me, but I think it's a lot healthier this way. And I can't believe that sometimes I drink extra. Sometimes I've finished my quota for the day and I still get thirsty. I can't believe it!

The Challenge with Parenting

When you're a parent, someone needs your attention 24/7 (except when the baby is asleep). That means when you're tired, hungry, and worn-out, you can't just sit on the couch until you feel better because someone needs to be changed or fed or put to bed. And because there are two of you (parents, I mean), when one is taking care of the baby, it's not fair that the other gets to sit and veg, even though that's what you both want to be doing. So when anyone is tired everyone is frustrated because you all have to work together to take care of each other. It's hard; it's challenging; but it doesn't mean that you and you husband have problems. You just have to learn how to keep working even when you're tired and hungry and worn out. But it's not just about you. It's just because you're a parent. But this is just one side of the matter (the minuses) . . .

Me and My Alarm Clock


I've decided only to sleep in once a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday. When I do it, I really like it. It means that I have one day to catch up but it's not long enough to throw me off for several days like the weekends used to. A lot of self-discipline, I know, but it's really been the best thing. I can get a lot done in a morning if I don't have to sleep in!

No Matter What I Do

My husband is always sweeter to me than I am to him. I know I am really lucky.

The Right Choice

A few weeks ago I pondered over whether to buy one or two 5 lb. bags of potatoes that were on sale (for 88 cents each!). I bought two. One is almost gone. One up for me!

If Someone Walks Up to You to Answer Some Questions for a Class Project


Just say no. It's okay. It's snowing. You've got a baby in the stroller. And the questions on city parking are pretty leading and stupid anyway.

I Swear Missmatched Socks are in Style


You know, those brightly-colored ankle socks from Costco? Can anyone back me up on this or answer the bigger question of why?

On That Water Thing

So now I'm so used to it that I'm excessively thirsty if I haven't been on track for my water quota for the day. It's really funny that I didn't realize that I was missing anything before, but now I do. I got the munchies a lot before when I was really thirsty when I thought I was hungry.

Another result is that I still drink milk with things but I don't guzzle milk like I used to. I think that's better for me. I'm still drinking enough milk but now I realize that before I was making up for not drinking a lot of water with milk. I like this better. Water is cheaper in price and calories, so that's fine with me!

About Those Long Nails


I keep scratching things (and--babies!) by accident because I'm not used to them. Sorry, son!

I Quit Google Images


I always get the most disgusting pictures from the most benign searches, and I'm sick of it. In the future, all my pictures will be from Microsoft clip art. I'm done with running into gross pictures all the time. The convenience is not worth the risk.

The Between Babies Thing

I just have to admit that I am enjoying having my nail proteins all to myself once more.

Maimed


By my baby. A 12 oz sippy cup of milk dropped on my toe does not help me train for my next biathalon! Ouch!

I Have Overbalanced Kapha in My Body and Pitta in My Mind

This means I need to take a yoga class (Yes! Got that!), get more massages (enter husband), take deep breaths throughout the day, "put your full attention on your meals when eating," meditate twice a day, unplug and relax (I guess that means stop blogging!), wear soothing fragrances, listen to medium tempo melodies, "diffuse soothing fragrances into your environment," favor blues, greens and whites, and spend time each day communing with nature (good thing is getting to be gardening season!)

Never blog using Internet Explorer again--ever! I can't do without the new tools in Firefox.
